This will be my first freshwater tank so please help/point out anything you see that would not go good together.

Here are the fish I would like but I am unsure how well they will do with each other. I have an 90 gal.

Albino angle fish
bloody parrot cichlid
koi angle fish
clown pleco
albino plegnose (spelling?) pleco
3 spot blue geromi (spelling?)
red fin Grammy
rainbow shark
African knife fish
blue ram cichlid
clown loach
African fish
paradise fish
medusas head pleco
elephant fish
gold grammas
***sorry about the spelling

Dont need them all, just what I can find-may go with 2-3 of a few different types. Please help me make up a compatible list good for a beginner!!! OH and which would be the best to add first??? Thanx Nicole
 
This isn't the same tank that has the pacu/pleco and ammonia/nitrite problems is it?
 
Well, to start, the parrot will likely tear most of the others apart, as will the Africans...the 'red fin gourami' (I am assuming red fin giant gourami) will eat everything else before long...the plecos will likely fight (odds on the L034s winning)...the blue and gold gouramis will nip at everything smaller than itself (which is practically everything save the plecos, red fin gourami, parrot cichlid and African cichlids) probably until they die........ In the end, you would likely have a tatty parrot, a haggard redfin gourami, and some raggy Africans....and then the gourami would get big enough and eat all the others.

You really need to start with a couple of fish you really, really like, ask if they can go together, and work your way up from there.
 
Try to do either South/Central American OR African as the fish require different water paremeters to thrive. And some plecos can get nasty mean if there is another in the tank.
